Congrats, but my house sat on the market for six months and the offer we accepted was 15k GBP below the original asking price.

Best of luck with closing! I mean that...it was more stressful than selling!

No closing for us, we are doing a corporate relocation, so we just sign the house over to the relo company and they take care of everything. At the closing of our new house, the relo company will pay us our equity ahead of time (plus our 2% of purchase price for selling the house) and simply wire the money to the clsoing agent and that will be that.

As far as the deal not being a done deal, I guess you're right, but again since we're dealing with a relo, our relo agent made sure the prospective buyers got mortgage approval (not pre-approval) to purchase our house as well as to carry their current home. They are closing Oct 31st.
